The Story: A Rural Tale of Loss and Supernatural Intrigue
The Summer When Light Died started out as a manga that was publishe one part at a time by the person who made it Mokumokuren. People really like The Summer When Light Died because it was very good at getting inside the characters minds it had a creepy feeling to it and the way it look was amazing. The story takes place in a village in Japan where the sun always shines. It is a boy name Yoshiki who goes to high school. Yoshiki notices that something is very wrong with his friend from when he was a kid, Hikaru. Hikaru was gone in the mountains for a week. When he came back he looked the same at first.
Yoshiki knows that this creature is pretending to be Hikaru. He still wants to stay with it because it reminds him of his friend. The story is really good at mixing the feeling of being in a small town with a very personal look at how people deal with sadness getting close to others and accepting things.
